Perceptions Of Violence & Aggression (Over Last 5 Years)

This questionaire will ask you about your views & experiences concerning violence and aggression. It will take about 5 minutes to complete and you will not be asked for any contact details.

1. You are in a pub or bar with work colleagues for a quick drink after a successful presentation that you have just made to a prospective client (You are on a bit of a high). The pub/bar is one that you and persons from work use quite regularly. It is about 8pm and although you’ve been there since 6pm you’ve only had a couple of drinks and although loud you are not drunk. As you go to use the toilets (out of view of your friends) a man, who you have seen before drinking in the pub/bar and who roughly the same size as you blocks your way and starts to tell you that he doesn’t like you or your friends, you go to get past him and he pushes you back, saying that you better leave the pub/bar.

Please rank the following actions/options according to the order in which they would come to you e.g. if your first thought would be to argue/ act aggressively rank this as 1 and if leaving the pub was the last thought rank this as 4.
